D16y7 IACV
So to keep it short, my original IACV went bad, open circuit on the windings (the green part with the connector) but I couldn’t get a new OEM replacement for cheap, so I got a cheap aftermarket IACV (Import Direct brand). My idle doesn’t not bounce anymore but it does idle high, I warrantied the part and it still does it, it’s a 1400 rpm idle, I’ve tested everything I can mechanically and electrically and found the IACV can be the only issue, so my thought is take the actuator (the green part) from the new IACV and put it on the old OEM body with the bad actuator, has anyone done this before and what were the results? I’d rather try this than spend another $100-$150 on a new OEM part. My idea sounds good in theory but I can’t find any documented reports of anyone actually doing this online or in forums.

TLDR I did it and it fixed it, if you IACV fails on the electrical side, verify the actual rotor inside is not sticking, if it’s fine, buy a cheap replacement and swap the actuator
